The house does front the Princes Highway so you do get some road noise but we have had hundreds of guests stay and love it.

The owners' communication was great and they had the gas log heater on for us when we arrived. The bed was comfortable, the spa was lovely, the cottage was clean and welcoming. Would definitely come again.

The only thing I can think of is that I had hoped to be closer to the alpacas but they decided to stay on the other side of the paddock. :)

We booked Clonmara at short notice as our travel plans changed due to the recent bush fires. However, we were absolutely delighted with our choice of accommodation, and the cottage surpassed our expectations in every way. The cottage has everything you need for your stay including a comfortable lounge, large screen tv, games, books and films. We particularly liked the bed orientation where you look out through glass doors towards the field with alpacas grazing. Our only disappointment was that we couldn't stay longer in Port Fairy, and enjoy the charms of Clonmara.

Nothing.

Very comfy, convenient, esthetically pleasing with period chić on the outside and tastefully contemporary inside. Nurturing and welcoming space and great people running the place. Had the heating going for us on arrival with a welcome note. Bed was sooo comfy. Parking also good. Very clean and well maintained. Property well maintained as well.

I am not a fan of spa bath showers, always scared I’ll slip! From what I can tell, it’s different in different cabins and can appreciate that some people like it and also that it would be costly to replace- it’s a personal preference rather than a problem with the space. We will definitely be back so obviously not a deal breaker!

Checkin was easy and clearly communicated by Steve our host. The cottage was on a beautiful pice of land with a lovely rural outlook. It is also quite near the highway, but we had no trouble with noise - the way the cottage is laid out and the protective trees act well as a noise reducer and we didn't even notice the traffic. The cottage is well appointed with the kitchen possessing everything we needed and as was advertised in the description. The car park is a short walk from the cottage but there are no stairs (which we were happy about!). Our sleep was quiet and peaceful. The cottage is a little drive from town - only about 3 mins, and Port Fairy is a lovely place. We would gladly stay here again!

Everything was as we expected

I’ve been staying at Clonmara for years and it just keeps getting better and better. Steve and Anna are gracious hosts and the place always feels like home (but better and more comfortable). In fact it’s always a bit of a struggle to get ourselves out in the morning or make our way back into town in the evening for dinner as we just want to curl up in the living room, it’s so cozy. The country house is beautifully appointed, the beds are so comfortable, and the cottages are just perfect if you’re by yourself or with a partner. The most perfect way to experience Port Fairy, Clonmara makes it a place you’ll want to return to again and again.

The entire property was amazing. The cottage was clean and furnished beautifully. The contact from the owner was very welcoming and helped us feel comfortable from the beginning. The cottage was fitted out so well that we could have lived in there for weeks. The gas log fire was relaxing, the bathroom was new and well supplied. The beds were comfortable and the pool table was a fun added bonus that the teenagers really enjoyed. The lit up outdoor area would be lovely on a Summers night. We could not fault anything at all and our girls were so happy there that they wish we could have stayed longer and want to return. We cannot recommend this place highly enough. Don't hesitate to book. Its a very short drive into town and a very easy location to find. Parking was great too.

We stayed in the House for 2 nights. The 170 year old building has been renovated with a sensitive balance between maintaining the original quirkiness and ambience with modern bathrooms and appliances and furnishings. The building has numerous small rooms that are tastefully furnished and equipped with all the we needed for our stay. The environment was very relaxing and the host, Steve, was helpful, responsive and very pleasant. A lot of thoughtful touches were added, with the most welcome being the heating turned on in advance of our arrival, ensuring the property was very cosy when we settled in. This had not occurred at any other accomodation we have used over the past week while travelling through ACT, NSW and VIC. Port Fairy is a delightful town and I highly recommend this property for couples and families if you are looking for a comfortable stay with a thoughtful host.

This accommodation exceeded our expectations. A little bit of country nestled a hop, skip, and jump from the main center of Port Fairy. Clean and cozy with the most comfortable bed I have ever slept on. Every channel you could wish for on the television. Cooking facilities with everything required. Llamas and cows to wake up to, honestly, what more could we ask for. Beaches are a short drive with little safe coves to swim in. Our hosts were exceptionally friendly and welcoming.

No faults at all. We should have booked longer it was so lovely. Will definitely recommend it .
